Check him out, doc... good stuff!

I might, if I live through this article!

I about shot coffee out my nose when i read this :: See Dr G? It ain't just me!

I know!  I know many who can shoot coffee out of their nose!

Can You say "Insipid "? Now let's all say it together....

For what?  Now, for your music selection, may I offer you A sax  in G Minor?

not me.....coffee? Double Blech!!!

not me.....coffee? Double Blech!!!

Alas, I love coffee!  But dont do caffiene any more.

His music is boring and lifeless. Plastic.

Did I mention it's boring?

I happen to enjoy jazz and some new wave ambient. There was a time when I thought Kenny G's music was very good. One day last week, the radio station I listen to on my trips to and from work (jazz to re-focus the stressed mind), came back from a brief commercial with a Kenny G tune and I found myself thinking "blech" and changed the station for a few mins.

I agree with you however, Dr. Guy. His music once in awhile and at the right time is a welcome thang. Not 24-7 either. But I also agree with some of the other posters on your blog, that if KG picked up a new twist in his style, folks might stop and listen again.

I've listened to Yanni and I'm not extremely impressed. That's not to say he isn't good. My folks saw him in concert (having never heard of him - tickets were a gift), and they fell in love with his music style.

Style may be good but he's another that I couldn't listen to "often."

As all things change, so does style whether it be fashion or music or attitude, etc.

Did you mean Boring, or Boooorrrrinnng?

Guess I am alone (or almost) in my like of him.

I guess that is 1/2 for and 1/2 against!  I agree he needs to get some variety, but an occassional song is very soothing.  I also like New Age (Enya and Loreena McKinnit), but that is vocal, not instrumental.  I love a good symphony, but not Opera.

(Enya and Loreena McKinnit), but that is vocal, not instrumental.

Actually Enya does have some instumental.

'AH! The truth comes out! I love the sax! I guess that is why I like him!'

I don't think that cuts it, Dr. Guy. I love the sax too, but the sax I love is that of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Wayne Shorter, Clarence Clemens, Sidney Bechet, Michael Brecker, Louis Jordan ... definitely NOT Kenny G.

Put another way, Kenny G is to the saxophone what ...
Richard Clayderman is to the piano
LaToya Jackson is to the Jackson family's musical legacy
4 Non Blondes are to protest music
Richard Marx is to vocal angst
Vanilla Ice is to hip hop
Michael Bolton is to the memory of Otis Redding
Britney Spears is to Thespianism

i.e. demanding nothing and giving less, vacuous, soulless, hollow, empty, and making 'elevator music' seem truly raw, exciting and heartfelt by comparison.

Does that help?

What is wrong with Kenny G?

He sucks?

I ditto that. ;o) Kathy *who is no longer anonymous user*

Welcome aboard!  Glad I found someone here with my taste in music!

Strictly speaking so does Loreena, but that is not what they are known for or sells.
